Pour la Victoire has a fantastic pair of gray suede pumps (albeit with no embellishments) that retails for less than $200. I got them yesterday, but they were too small on me! I couldn’t find any place online that had them in the next size up, so alas, I must let these go. The search for the perfect gray pump continues . . .

I’ve always thought Cavalli was some mutated clone of Donatella Versace; understatement is not in their vocabulary. If the shoe is not completely overdone, it is because the designer passed out at the drawing board, not because s/he thought it was finished.

Not so pleasing and definitely not worth the price! These kind of embellishments look good on a dress, not so favorable on a shoe, anyway if someone puts a gun to my head and makes me wear it then maybe a mint green chiffon dress might not be a bad idea!

I actually own a pair of Cavalli shoes, they are black suede peep toes with gold piping. The only animal print is on the inside of the shoe and the soles and the heel are done in the same antique gold as the piping. I continually wonder how such nice shoes came out of that fashion house, and all I can assume is that is why I was able to buy them at the MASSIVELY reduced sale price.
